About this course and kit

If you want to learn to weave with willow but you don't feel quite ready to take on your first basket then this course and kit is the perfect choice. You'll get lifetime access to Mollie Mcmillen's lovely 3-hour online course, plus all the materials you need will be delivered to your door!

During the course you'll learn to make three lovely beginner projects - a willow star with fairy lights,
a willow heart (great for learning how to make willow bend without breaking it) and a beautiful Catalan tension tray. Each project will teach you a specific new skill that you will use when you come to make your first basket. You'll also learn how to prepare the willow for weaving, how to select the right rods
and a whole host of other vital skills. Check out the course trailer above.

Here’s a preview of what you’ll learn to make:
